 :)Thanks for trying to help a lost cause. I've learned to post ebay pages but forgotten again.
      Anyway the main thing is i've just bought this (after auction ended) for a mate who's a single Dad & his present motor (diesel escort yuk) is about wan****d. He needs to get his litt'lun to school & himself to college(mature student) We're almost like brothers so will do anything we can to help. As many of you know i'm skint for a year yet but have some unused holiday which i get paid extra for so i'm using that money to buy this for £200. Hope it gets him a good runabout that he badly needs.
     Deal agreed with seller, all paperwork with car, minor faults can be sorted in workshop. Would'nt mind it myself...budget motor??
     Item no:-260194478785.

Don't worry it's your age

I went to the doctor for an Alzheimer test the other day, can't remember what he said....

It's a bit new for a 2.0 but should drive OK the gearbox is very similar.

If it is solid it will be fine, it would be fun to sort out!!!!

I had an E reg with the good 2.0

Looks quite tidy for the age. A good tough workhorse with plenty of life in it yet, with luck. Can't argue with the value for money. I'd probably have been slightly happier if it wasn't an auto, but give it a fluid and filter change to be on the safe side...

Give me that to run around in over an Escrot diseasel any day of the week.

A chunky reliable battle bus thats still got a few miles left......  

[amigov6]

 :)Hope so Broocie. Picking it up on Saturday. My mate Tank, (if you saw him you'd understand) is off down south in a hire car but has changed his ins over so i've got the Carlton to play with/ sort/valet etc, but i can run it  around legally on my ins just to get the measure of the old girl for a few days. Quite looking forward to it, got a soft spot for Carltons, besides £200 does'nt buy you much of anything nowadays.

It looks good, especially for the money.
Good tough old bus the Carlton, and the 2.0 lump is pretty much indestructible!  

[Darth Loo-knee]

It doesn't look a bad car for the money, hope everything goes ok with it

[amigov6]

Cheers Dave & Daz. I'll post some better pics when i've been to town on it, reckon it'll valet up a treat!
    Anyone got a spare VX griffin badge for the bonnet??? Sorry, noticing bits already!!!! As posted this is a "love job" for a mate who'se even skinter than i am. Best thing is he phoned me today & said William (his 6yr old son) wants to ride back with me in the "new" car, bless him. I held & bottle fed him in one arm when he was new born & i'm proud to be his godfather.
      Reckon it'll look good next to my Mig, 2 of VX's finest.

[Darth Loo-knee]

A nice christmas present for your mate Guy.
Have a great one mate:y

Would check everywhere for rust though. My father had a 91 on a G which did 265K but it was rust that killed it, nothing mechanical.

[cem_devecioglu]

Here I see many of them..Still strong , no rust and comfortable..
